WebBLOGS in the classroom

Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms by Will Richardson specifically focuses on blogs in chapter 2 (2010). Richardson (2010). Adapters of weblogs in the classroom are creating a wide variety of ways to use them, and they have shown that blogs can enhance and deepen learning. Weblogs build relationships with peers, teachers, mentors, and professionals within the weblog environment. Page 37 talks about whether your students become bloggers or not, blogs have become sources of information about certain topics and students will at least need to learn how to evaluate them for accuracy and trustworthiness.Blogs in my opinion make topics more personal because you can interact with other peers and adults and can argue your thoughts and feelings on the topic.
